Saturn in
Virgo September 2, 2007 until July 21,
2010
Virgo is a
personality that tends to be methodical, meticulous,
critical, analytical, conscientious and hardworking. Virgo
rules service meaning that many Virgo's tend to work in the
helping professions such as healthcare, volunteering, and
assisting others in a collective effort. Virgo represents
the worker and our labor force, it also rules body
maintenance including diet, nutrition, exercise and
preventive measures. The keywords of Saturn’s influence
are: responsibility, organization, work, duty, limitations,
focus, karma, business, and structure. Saturn
transits around the solar system and through all 12 zodiac
signs every 29 ½ years. The last cycle of Saturn’s transit
through the sign of Virgo was November 16, 1977 through
September 21, 1980. The best way to predict the lessons of
Saturn moving through Virgo both individually and globally
is to reflect on the world events of the previous transit
of Saturn but more especially to reflect on your own
personal challenges and struggles of the late 1970's. If
you embrace the lessons of Saturn you will mature and
evolve regarding the areas that Virgo represents in your
horoscope but if you are still immature or if Saturn is
stirring up issues that you would rather avoid then this
transit will be more stressful and difficult but you will
have to face your insecurities and limitations eventually
which can be an important learning cycle as well as
creating anxiety because of your fear of facing your
personal challenges.
Many of us are
concerned about our jobs and the labor market because of a
fear of an economic slowdown triggered recently because of
the real estate crisis and the credit crunch. I had
predicted that our economy would suffer and because of the
real estate bubble when Saturn was opposing Neptune, a 36
year cycle, from August 2006 through June 2007. But now
realistic and responsible Saturn has entered Virgo that
rules the labor force and I predict a slowdown in the job
market which will affect our economy and the world's
economy overall. One reason will be that business will be
cutting back and not hiring unless necessary. Saturn rules
business and limitations and when it is in Virgo the
companies of the world will tend to cutback and keep their
work force leaner which will affect the labor market.
However, as this transit of Saturn affects our job market
and as our real estate bubble deflates the planet of
optimism and expansion will be moving into Capricorn in
December 2007 until early January 2009. Capricorn is an
earth sign which is compatible with Virgo which is also an
earth sign. Therefore, Saturn will point out the individual
challenges that we have to face but the upcoming cycle of
Jupiter in Capricorn will provide us the opportunities to
overcome and handle more successfully the lessons of Saturn
if we embrace our responsibilities.

Virgo will affect your sign and rising sign with the
protection and opportunities of Jupiter.

and authority figures which can mean that your boss may

business foundations.

responsibility towards 5th house issues of creative

affairs, and becoming more conservative with investments
and speculation. Jupiter in Capricorn is also in positive

lessons in this area or you may be taking on more
responsibility for older family members or handling their
business affairs. Jupiter in Capricorn will bring

for learning, speaking or writing. Jupiter in Capricorn
